Book
blurb
This is Level 1 of the young adult sci-fi thriller
'EleMental: A First-person Shooter' – newly republished as an ebook from the
original 2010 print edition and available exclusively through Amazon.
One moment,
you're sitting at your desk, the next, you're battling something that's
half-dinosaur, half-tank.
Set in 2050,
three teenagers encounter a deadly new virtual reality game called EleMental.
Deliberately designed to be highly addictive, to control rebellious asteroid
miners, EleMental has a by-product no one was ready for: gameblur - the
confusion of reality and virtuality.
Praise for the original print edition
'... a
fantastic and exciting debut novel by Steven O’Connor ... entertaining mix of
futuristic sci-fi, horror, action and angst ... this reads like Philip K Dick
for teenagers. With the narrative sneakily shifting between the real and
virtual worlds, O’Connor explores some fairly complex and sophisticated issues
in a thrilling and accessible way.'

June 2010.
'... the
author does an excellent job of creating Virtualitee, and by the end readers
might feel as if they have had a lucky escape from its clutches, too.'
